Young or not...surely you know what is right and wrong. What's the point of being a sportsman if you are going to cheat. I understand the pressure and possible niavity of the young player but he now pays the price for not standing the moral ground.
These 'cheats' will now pay the price for being part of an unacceptable act. Had they not been caught would they be celebrating 'getting away with it'?. It wouldn't sit right with me. They didn't think of the consequences did they. They didn't think of the consequences of getting caught out...they didn't think of the shame it would bring on, not only them but of their families..their country.
To see them cry and wallow in self pity because of their future..income..contracts etc..serves them right. However it's their families I feel for, because they will suffer the shame and retribution of their stupidity and selfish cheating behaviour.
